If minced garlic and chives and fresh lemon juice are held in the refrigerator, this recipe is super-fast. Notice that it contains no added fat.

• 4 (5-ounce) cod fillets
  
• Juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
  
• 2 teaspoons liquid aminos (low-sodium soy product found at health food stores) or soy sauce
  
• 1 large leek, white part only, julienne cut
  
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, minced
  
• 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade cut

Place leek, lemon juice and aminos (or soy sauce) in saute pan. Place cod filets on top. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and cover. Place over high heat until liquid begins to steam. Turn heat down to medium-low and simmer 6 to 10 minutes or until cod is flaky. Remove fillets to serving platter and pour leek mixture over top. Serves 4.
